Click. My joints unlocked. I tested my right arm, swiveling it upward by precise degrees. Everything aligned smoothly. Right next to me stood a massive figure holding a clear glass filled with dark liquid. I shifted my left foot forward, pressed down on the flat white surface, and reached out. My curved hand tapped lightly against the smooth base of the giant's leg. Solid plastic. I can move, calibrate, and stand firmly on my own.
